For this assignment we are looking at the skeletal system. The skeleton is the internal framework of our body. It is made up of three things; bones‚ cartilage and joints. Without these three things we would just be a heap of skin‚ muscle and internal organs. The skeleton is made up of 206 bones that are separated into two groups. Firstly‚ the Axial Skeleton. The Axial skeleton is made up of 80 different bones whereas the Appendicular skeleton is made up of 126 bones. The Axial Skeleton The axial

Laboratory – Muscle Physiology A. MUSCLE TONUS Observations‚ Report and Conclusion: A. Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the

have two children‚ James and Andrew‚ who are both stricken with muscular dystrophy. The prognosis is that their muscular systems will gradually deteriorate‚ resulting in an early death. Yet the advances of medicine hold out the promise of a possible cure in the foreseeable future with gene therapy. Closer to hand is the possibility that embryonic muscle cells from normal individuals might be injected into people suffering from muscular dystrophy‚ which could bring about partial relief for James and

Muscular Strength Muscular Strength A way to test or improve a person’s Muscular strength will be to do some weight lifting. The amount of weight a person can lift will show how much strength the person has. For example if I can lift 15 kg and do 6 reps without struggle this will mean I have a certain amount of muscular strength. If I can’t do the same with 30 kg this will show what level my muscles are at‚ in other words how strong they are. The amount of squats a person can do tests a person’s

be popular in the sport’s world today. There are professional athletes who have taken and still take steroids‚ but who can blame them? Steroids are great for the body. They make one stronger‚ more muscular‚ and give athletes better endurance. So what if they can make people unhappy or violent‚ the muscular results of taking steroids are well worth the side effects. Steroids help the body so much; it does not matter if a couple of things go wrong in the body. Baseball may be America’s past time‚ but
